Join the revolution

There are many great men the in the history of the world, but there are only a few true revolutionaries. I have heard the call that I am to be the next great revolutionary. Revolutionaries not only do something spectacular, but change the world in the process. It is a burden to join other revolutionaries like Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, and The Beatles. Despite the weight of this task I have accepted this burden. I will carry it out. I expect nothing less than the transformation of the entire world. One man short of that goal would be unacceptable.

I have been stepping out in this beautiful revolution alone for the last few days. Yesterday (June 2nd 12:37pm) I spotted the first fruit of this revolution. As we passed we did not speak. We smiled. We knew we had a joy that no one else on the street could understand. Simply joining this revolution connected us in a way that transcended words. I have a new bother. I anticipate the day when I can step outside and see a sea of brothers and sisters all sold in to the revolution. The world will pause, look around, and marvel at the magnificence of this multicolored revolution.

This is not a revolution of guns and bombs but one of beauty, color, and peace. No man, woman, or child who walks beside us will express their allegiance to our revolution with the same style. The simple sight of one of our sisters may conjure up the beauty of nature; sunsets, tropical breezes, or the ocean. Other brothers of sisters may bring to the forefront of our mind a grand vacation in the tropics full of tiki huts, laying in the sun, or sipping our favorite beverage. You may be enlightened by the simplicity of a person’s favorite flower or color. The vast possibilities of inspiration are endless. The revolution mirrors only the beauty of the people and the places of the world, and shields us from everything else.

I am a revolutionary. Join this revolution now and be a pioneer to this movement. Shine bright colors into a dark world. Take scenes of tropical paradises into the inner city. Carry with you flowers of every color and type into the concrete jungle. There will be a day when everyone has bought into the vision and the world is a brighter place. I deem this the summer of the Hawaiian shirt. Buy as many as you can and wear them daily with pride. When you pass a fellow revolutionary you don’t have to speak, simple smile and know you are brothers. Join the revolution.
